== How can I split a file into line ranges, e.g. lines 1-10, 11-20, 21-30? ==
POSIX specifies the {{{split}}} utility, which can be used for this purpose:

{{{#!highlight bash
split -l 10 input.txt
}}}

For more flexibility you can use {{{sed}}}. The {{{sed}}} command can print e.g. the line number range 1-10:
{{{#!highlight bash
sed 10q # Print lines 1-10 and then quit.
sed '1,5d; 10q' # Print just lines 6-10 by filtering the first 5 then quitting after 10.
}}}

The `d` command stops {{{sed}}} from printing each line. This could alternatively have been done by passing sed the `-n` option and printing lines with the `p` command rather than deleting them with `d`. It makes no difference.

We can now use this to print an arbitrary range of a file (specified by line number):

{{{#!highlight bash
# POSIX shell
file=/etc/passwd
range=10
cur=1
last=$(wc -l < "$file") # count number of lines
chunk=1
while [ "$cur" -lt "$last" ]
do
    endofchunk=$((cur + range - 1))
    sed -n -e "$cur,${endofchunk}p" -e "${endofchunk}q" "$file" > chunk.$(printf %04d $chunk)
    chunk=$((chunk + 1))
    cur=$((cur + range))
done
}}}

The previous example uses POSIX [[ArithmeticExpression|arithmetic]], which older [[BourneShell|Bourne shells]] do not have. In that case the following example should be used instead:

{{{#!highlight bash
# legacy Bourne shell; assume no printf either
file=/etc/passwd
range=10
cur=1
last=`wc -l < "$file"` # count number of lines
chunk=1
while test "$cur" -lt "$last"
do
    endofchunk=`expr $cur + $range - 1`
    sed -n -e "$cur,${endofchunk}p" -e "${endofchunk}q" "$file" > "chunk.$chunk"
    chunk=`expr $chunk + 1`
    cur=`expr $cur + $range`
done
}}}

Awk can also be used to produce a more or less equivalent result:

{{{#!highlight bash
awk -v range=10 '{print > FILENAME "." (int((NR -1)/ range)+1)}' file
}}}

How can I split a file into line ranges, e.g. lines 1-10, 11-20, 21-30?

POSIX specifies the split utility, which can be used for this purpose:

   1 split -l 10 input.txt

For more flexibility you can use sed. The sed command can print e.g. the line number range 1-10:

   1 sed 10q         # Print lines 1-10 and then quit.
   2 sed '1,5d; 10q' # Print just lines 6-10 by filtering the first 5 then quitting after 10.

The d command stops sed from printing each line. This could alternatively have been done by passing sed the -n option and printing lines with the p command rather than deleting them with d. It makes no difference.

We can now use this to print an arbitrary range of a file (specified by line number):

   1 # POSIX shell
   2 file=/etc/passwd
   3 range=10
   4 cur=1
   5 last=$(wc -l < "$file") # count number of lines
   6 chunk=1
   7 while [ "$cur" -lt "$last" ]
   8 do
   9     endofchunk=$((cur + range - 1))
  10     sed -n -e "$cur,${endofchunk}p" -e "${endofchunk}q" "$file" > chunk.$(printf %04d $chunk)
  11     chunk=$((chunk + 1))
  12     cur=$((cur + range))
  13 done

The previous example uses POSIX arithmetic, which older Bourne shells do not have. In that case the following example should be used instead:

   1 # legacy Bourne shell; assume no printf either
   2 file=/etc/passwd
   3 range=10
   4 cur=1
   5 last=`wc -l < "$file"` # count number of lines
   6 chunk=1
   7 while test "$cur" -lt "$last"
   8 do
   9     endofchunk=`expr $cur + $range - 1`
  10     sed -n -e "$cur,${endofchunk}p" -e "${endofchunk}q" "$file" > "chunk.$chunk"
  11     chunk=`expr $chunk + 1`
  12     cur=`expr $cur + $range`
  13 done

Awk can also be used to produce a more or less equivalent result:

   1 awk -v range=10 '{print > FILENAME "." (int((NR -1)/ range)+1)}' file
